Allah says
۞ وَلَقَدۡ وَصَّلۡنَا لَهُمُ ٱلۡقَوۡلَ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ (51)
۞ And We have reached to them the word that they may remember (51)
And we have reached, O Muhammad, to your people from the Quraysh and to the Jews from the Children of Israel to say the news of the past and the news of what We have inflicted upon them of Our punishment, When they denied Our Messengers, and what we will do to those who follow in their footsteps and follow an example of disbelief in God, and denying His Messengers is their example, so that they may remember, consider, and learn. Its origin is: connecting ropes to each other.
On the authority of Qatada (And We have reached to them the word)
He said: God reached to them the word in this Qur’an, telling them how He did with those who passed, and how He created (that they might remember) Al-Qasim told us, he said: Muhammad bin Isa Abu Jaafar told us, on the authority of Sufyan bin Uyaynah: We have arrived: we have made clear.
Others said
The Jews meant them
A view of the verse
To the infidels of Quraish, to the Arab polytheists, to the Jews, to the Christians, and to you, yes, you and I, and we are everywhere in the world, everywhere outside the Earth, on the Moon or on Mars - what we know of as far as we know are planets inhabited by some people, they are inevitably Muslims, as Islam will reach everyone in a house made of wool, clay, or something else, until you find the infidel and the believer at the end of time sitting in one house.
Allah says
ٱلَّذِينَ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُمُ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبۡلِهِۦ هُم بِهِۦ يُؤۡمِنُونَ (52)
(52) Those to whom We gave the Scripture before Him believe in it. (52)
I heard Al-Dahhak say
People of the Book believed in the Torah and the Gospel, then they recognized Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, so they believed in him. So God gave them their reward twice for their patience:
I heard Al-Dahhak say
People of the Book who believed in the Torah and the Gospel, then they realized Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, So they believed in him. So God gave them their reward twice for their patience: by their belief in Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, before he was sent, and by their following him when he was sent, that is his saying: Indeed, we were Muslims before him.
Allah says
وَإِذَا يُتۡلَىٰ عَلَيۡهِمۡ قَالُوٓاْ ءَامَنَّا بِهِۦٓ إِنَّهُ ٱلۡحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا مِن قَبۡلِهِۦ مُسۡلِمِينَ (53)
And when it is recited to them, they say, “We believe in it, It is the truth from our Lord. Indeed, we were Muslims before Him. (53)
The patience
But there are other types of people who are patient.
But they did not have this kind of patience, as you know that converting from one religion to another is one of the most difficult decisions you can make, especially if you have a heavenly religion and not an earthly one. With patience, their good deeds overlap with their bad deeds until they cover up the bad deeds, and they spend from what God has bestowed upon them of health, knowledge, money, prestige, etc.
The - refraining from idle talk
Idle talk: it is any speech from which no benefit can be obtained
3 - They said to the people of their first religion
They said to them: We have our deeds and you have your deeds. We do not seek the ignorant, He said: there were some people from the People of the Book who converted to Islam, So the polytheists used to harm them, but they used to forgive them, saying: (Peace be upon you. we do not seek the ignorant.)
And His saying: (Turn away from it)
He says: They did not listen to him, (And they said, “We have our deeds, and you have your deeds.”) This indicates that the nonsense that God mentioned in this situation, rather, it is what Mujahid said, that it means hearing from people who harm them by saying things they hate, It is within themselves, and the most important thing is that they respond to them with kindness by saying (We have our own deeds) we have accepted it for ourselves. (And you have your deeds) You have accepted it for yourselves.
( peace be upon you)
He says: It is safer for you than us to insult you, or to hear from us, what you do not like (We do not seek the ignorant) says: We do not want to debate with the people of ignorance and compete with them.
Allah says
إِنَّكَ لَا تَهۡدِي مَنۡ أَحۡبَبۡتَ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَهۡدِي مَن يَشَآءُۚ وَهُوَ أَعۡلَمُ بِٱلۡمُهۡتَدِينَ (56)
You will not guide someone whom you love, But Allah guides whom He wills, and He knows best those who are guided. (56)
He stated that this verse was revealed to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace
Because his uncle Abu Talib refused to answer him, when he called him to believe in God, to what he called him to do.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said:
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said to his uncle, Upon death: “Say there is no god but Allah, I will bear witness to it on the Day of Resurrection, He said: If Quraysh had not lent me money, I would have make your eyes satisfied, so God revealed: (Indeed, you do not guide whom you love)... the verse.
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, he said: When the death of Abu Talib approached
The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to him and said: “O uncle, say there is no god but Allah, He mentioned something similar, except that he said: If Quraysh had not taunted me, they say: He would not have felt anything but the fear of death.
On the authority of Al-Zuhri, he said: Saeed bin Al-Musayyab told me, on the authority of his father, he said
When Abu Talib was about to die, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, came to him, He found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah bin Al-Mughirah with him, The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said: O uncle, say there is no god but God, a word by which I bear witness for you before God, Abu Jahl and Abdullah bin Abi Umayyah said: O Abu Talib: Do you abandon the religion of Abdul Muttalib? The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, kept offering it to him, He repeated that article to him, until Abu Talib said the last thing he spoke to them: He follows the religion of Abdul Muttalib, and he refuses to say: There is no god but Allah, The prophet Peace Be Upon Him said: “By God, I will seek forgiveness for you as long as I do not forbid you, God has revealed what is for the Prophet and those who believe to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, Even if they were relatives, and God revealed it regarding Abu Talib, and he said to the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, (You do not guide whom you love, but God guides)...the verse.
I said to Ibn Omar: (You do not guide anyone you love.)
Did you stay at Abu Talib? He said: Yes
A view of the verse
There are loved ones in this life, and perhaps they do not believe in God like you, this lover could be a father, brother, son, wife, husband, or anyone else It reassures you that guidance is not in your hands, but in the hands of God Almighty. He gives it to whomever He wants at the time He wants - Glory be to Him, Faith and disbelief are trials like other trials in this world, such as illness, death, or anything else. If a lover (infidel) comes out for you in this world, this is God’s test for you, not because you are bad or you misbred him if he is a son, but because guidance is God’s specialty - the Almighty - so the son of Noah - peace be upon him is an infidel, His wife is an infidel, and they are among the people closest to him (home front) This is not due to favoritism on the part of God, but rather because God knows best those who want guidance from within, so He guides them.
Allah says
وَقَالُوٓاْ إِن نَّتَّبِعِ ٱلۡهُدَىٰ مَعَكَ نُتَخَطَّفۡ مِنۡ أَرۡضِنَآۚ أَوَ لَمۡ نُمَكِّن لَّهُمۡ حَرَمًا ءَامِنٗا يُجۡبَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ ثَمَرَٰتُ كُلِّ شَيۡءٖ رِّزۡقٗا مِّن لَّدُنَّا وَلَٰكِنَّ أَ كۡثَرَهُمۡ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ (57)
And they said, “If we follow guidance with you, we will be snatched away from our lands, or have you not granted them a secure sanctuary to which the fruits of all things are brought to it, they were provided with provision from Us, but do most of them not know? (57)
Mecca, and they are Quraysh
God Almighty says: And the infidels of Quraysh said: We will follow the truth which you brought us with you, We disavow our peers and gods. people snatch us from our land with all of them agreeing to disagree with us and fight us, God says to His Prophet: So say: (Have We not established for them a sanctuary?) He says: Have We not established for them a country that We have made sacred to the people? blood was shed there, and we prevented them from harming its inhabitants there, It protected its people from being attacked, killed, or taken captive.
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, that Al-Harith bin Nawfal, who said
(If we follow guidance with you, we will be snatched from our land.) they claimed that they said: We know that you are the Messenger of God, but we fear that we will be snatched away from our land. (Have We not enabled them?) Verse.
And His saying: (The fruits of everything will be brought to it)
He says it is combined with him, and it is from their saying: I collected water in the basin: if I collected it in it, but what I meant by that: it would carry to it the fruits of every country
A view of the verse
And they said to Muhammad - may God bless him and grant him peace (that we follow guidance)
the misfortunes will befall us and we will leave our land to which we are accustomed, and God Almighty will remember them, We were not able to provide them with a safe haven that would bring in fruits throughout the year because of the winter and summer journeys, which merchants from Yemen and the Levant used to bring during the Hajj season before Islam, The house existed and was made by Abraham and Ismail - peace be upon them -
Allah says
وَكَمۡ أَهۡلَكۡنَا مِن قَرۡيَةِۭ بَطِرَتۡ مَعِيشَتَهَاۖ فَتِلۡكَ مَسَٰكِنُهُمۡ لَمۡ تُسۡكَن مِّنۢ بَعۡدِهِمۡ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗاۖ وَكُنَّا نَحۡنُ ٱلۡوَٰرِثِينَ (58)
How many towns have We destroyed, whose livelihood has been underestimating, so that is their abode. You will not reside there after them except a few, and we were the heirs (58)
The most evil people are negligent people, people of falsehood, and people who succumb to disobedience to God
Those are the homes of the people whom We destroyed because of their disbelief in their Lord, and their homes were not inhabited after them except for a few, It was ruined after them, and only the smallest part of it was rebuilt, and most of it was in ruins. The wording, even if it is outside the fact that their homes were inhabited for a little while, is its meaning, those were their dwellings, and you did not inhabit them after them except a few of them, as it is said: You fulfilled your rights except a few of them.
(And We were the heirs)
He says: And because We destroyed their dwellings, there was no inheritance from them,It returned as it was before they lived there, with no owner but God, to whom belongs the inheritance of the heavens and the earth.
A view of the verse
How much we perished
perished It means that it is an infinite number
That is, he underestimated the blessing and it appeared in his eyes and he felt that he deserved better, so he denied this blessing and did not express gratitude for it, so it disappeared from him, and for every blessing, there is gratitude, from eyes, hands, feet, a decent life, a wife, a husband, and children, Money, travel, education...etc. are among the joys of life that deserve gratitude, It is said to trim a blessing with the scissors of gratitude, which means that every blessing has two wings if you do not trim it with the scissors of gratitude, It flew and went to someone else, so he thanked the knowledge that he brought it out and taught it to people, and he thanked the extra food that nourished him, the eye is grateful for looking at what God has made lawful, He thanked the children for raising them according to God’s commands, and for the blessing of faith above all blessings - and God is Most High and Most Knowing.
Allah says
وَمَا كَانَ رَبُّكَ مُهۡلِكَ ٱلۡقُرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ يَبۡعَثَ فِيٓ أُمِّهَا رَسُولٗا يَتۡلُواْ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتِنَاۚ وَمَا كُنَّا مُهۡلِكِي ٱلۡقُرَىٰٓ إِلَّا وَأَهۡلُهَا ظَٰلِمُونَ (59)
And your Lord would not destroy the towns until He had sent to their motherland a messenger, (59) He recites Our signs to them, and We will not destroy the towns unless their people are wrongdoers. (59)
The mother of the villages is Mecca, and God sent to them a messenger, Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace.
And his saying: (And We did not destroy the towns unless their people were wrongdoers) He says
We were not going to destroy a town while it believed in God. We were only going to destroy it because it wronged itself, due to its disbelief in God. Rather, We destroyed the people of Mecca because of their disbelief in their Lord and the wrongdoing of themselves.
On the authority of Ibn Abbas, his saying:
(And We would not destroy the towns unless their people were wrongdoers) He said: God did not destroy a village out of faith, but He destroyed the villages with injustice if he wronged its people, If it had been a city that believed, they would not have perished with those who perished, but they lied and wronged, and thus they were destroyed.
A view of the verse
It is said about Mecca that it is “Umm al-Qura” because it is one of the greatest villages in status and it contains the House of God and it is the center of the earth, likewise, there are several villages centered around a city, so the city is the mother of the villages in their midst, so God - the Almighty - sends messengers to people at the time of messages and those who convey the messengers, they pray to the people in the cities, and others deliver it to the villages until it is not a single village, you do not know anything about Islam, and the truth is that there are some villages to this day whose owners do not know anything about Islam, like some closed primitive tribes that are not found on the map, which the scholars of the world have reached, no religion recently and living a random primitive life with no faith in it or anything.
